Synopsis Business writer Marcus Buckingham puts into action the revolutionary work he (along with others) started in his earlier books, FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES and NOW, DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS. Buckingham's approach does not focus on business failures, but rather seeks to use employees' strengths for the benefit of companies. He presents a six-step program, using exercises that identify and develop good habits, designed to build strong individuals and strong teams. (In truth, he does not totally ignore weakness, as he shows how to break habits that undermine us.) Businesses, schools, and government are adopting the "strengths" movement, and Buckingham's clear and engaging presentation of it is full of positive common sense.

Industry Reviews "Will this regimen be effective? Given that it is rooted in the sound capitalize-on-your-strengths thinking of Peter Drucker, it might well be, especially since Mr. Buckingham uses all the forces of modern communication to reinforce his message. For the motivated person who aspires to improve performance, this clear and self-contained program may help." (03/28/2006)
